DERRIDA is the award-winning new documentary film about the brilliant and controversial
French philosopher and distinguished UCI Professor Jacques Derrida. Best
known as the founder of "Deconstruction," Derrida's work has radically
influenced the fields of literature, art, architecture, fashion, music and
critical theory, inalterably marking the intellectual landscape of the 20th
and 21st centuries. Derrida’s extensive personal papers are located in
the UC Irvine Libraries' renowned Critical Theory Archive.
Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering Kofman,
DERRIDA premiered to standing room only crowds and rave reviews at the 2002
Sundance Film Festival before being screened at film festivals throughout the
world. Public screenings later broke attendance records at theaters throughout
the United States. The film's bold visual style, mesmerizing score by
Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, and novel editorial approach create
a rich, lively cinematic experience--one that at once questions, provokes,
and entertains.
